Bridges Community School
Dear Staff, Students and Families,
As the school year draws to a close, I want to extend my warmest wishes to each and every one of you. It has truly been a fantastic year filled with incredible learning, growth, laughter, and community. I have been so impressed by the dedication of our students, the unwavering support of our families, and the passion of our exceptional staff. Together, we've created an environment where our students have thrived, and for that, I am immensely grateful.
This year has been a journey of discovery and achievement, and I hope you all take a moment to reflect on and celebrate your successes. Our students have worked hard, shown kindness, and embraced new challenges with enthusiasm.
Now, as summer approaches, I encourage everyone to take a well-deserved rest. Enjoy the sunshine, spend quality time with loved ones, explore new interests, and recharge your batteries. Read for pleasure, play outdoors, and make wonderful memories.
Looking ahead, we are incredibly excited about the upcoming school year! We will be embarking on new adventures focused on Global Learning and Community Connections. This initiative will provide our students with enriching opportunities to broaden their understanding of the world, connect with diverse cultures and perspectives, and engage meaningfully with our local and global communities. We believe these experiences will be invaluable in preparing our students to be compassionate, informed, and active citizens of the world.
More details about these exciting programs will be shared as we get closer to the new school year. For now, enjoy a safe, joyful, and restful summer break. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back, refreshed and ready for another amazing year of learning and discovery.
Thank you once again for a remarkable year.
Together in Learning! Mrs. Rittmiller
Focus Schools Update
Update on Global Studies and Our Dream Team:
We identified the 14 home languages and the order to introduce them during community groups for the 2025-26 school year. We will be reaching out to families to help us with a little video so we learn how to correctly pronounce and greet each other with welcome and hello in different languages!
We continue to plan for our "being here and there" experiences inside and outside the classroom to enhance our learning around our CORE topics.
Next week our staff will embark on 3 days of Inquiry Based Training to continue our work on our fall unit of study. This will be a unit that encompasses social studies and reading standards.
Our specialists are working hard on their unique learning experiences that enhance our global studies!
